  • Thank you! I finally cleaned that up. Meanwhile started 3 more ..I have a habit of taking too long to finish a piece, then I lose interest in it and just start something else. I found 8 from recently i started and abandoned, that are decent enough to not delete, but not finished. There’s also been a number of drawings I felt I “outgrew” - became better before I finished them, and it would be easier to start from scratch than fix them. Anyone else thinking that?

  • Lady Death Fanart Collectible: Part 6 Polypaint and base Hi, it’s time to share with you another part of the process to create this fanart piece. Polypaint As this is my first collectible fanart I didn’t have previous experience with polypaint so I tried my best and played a bit with it.I wanted to give a ghostly and eerie look to Lady Death, she is beautiful and deadly, but at the end of the day she is a woman that died and was reborn at hell as an avenging spirit, that’s why I gave her skin tone a bluish very cold tone.As you will see I gave myself some creative freedom to deviate from the traditional color scheme that this characater has in comics and illustrations.To add a bit of sensuality by painting some freckles on the face and the chest. The dark nature of this character was the perfect excuse to gave her a kind of goth make up, very dark shadows around the eyes, blue lips and fingernails. I know that the original character includes sexy red lips but I wanted this girl to have a sexy but at the same time creepy look, that’s why we can see some thin veins emanating from her eyes. The biggest chromatic change I did for this character is at the hair. Lady Death has a characteristic white weavy hair but in my fanart I decided to gave her a very saturated blue color.The reason behind this wasn’t only an aesthetic choice. I want that the face area strongly pulls the attention of the viewer so this area needed a stronger contrast. Another reason is that I want her to have a more modern look, as I mentioned before, I’m strongly attracted to women with goth/punk look. I gave myself half an hour or more to analyse the work of experienced sculptors that create collectibles and I discovered that the use of darker values on the skin is often applied to create a greater sense of volume and three-dimensionality. I found that areas with heavy ambient occlusion are the perfect places to paint with darker colors in order to increase the separation between different forms. Even though she has a bluish skin tone, I used a bit of warmer hues in areas that, in real life, tend to go towards red and pink, this is very obvious in the nose, cheeks, and knuckles. Thinking with a logical mind it’s completely absurd to have warmer tones on the body of a zombie like creature but I didn’t want to limit myself by using only blue tones, it looks boring and artificial. In real life these colors are created by blood vessels in areas where the skin is very thin. ** Scythe **for her weapon I applied a cool gray with some warmer variations, this color scheme is influenced by the work of H.R giger. Base I’d like to talk about the design for the base which, to be honest, I forgot to develop along with the character.My main idea with the base is to show that Lady Death inhabits a very sterile and arid land, at the end of the day she is at hell.You can see a that she walks over dirt and rocks, a sign that she’s surrounded by death and loneliness. As part of the landscape we can see some bones and skulls to reinforce the idea of lack of living creatures, yet we can see three hands that try to reach her legs.This hands represent that all creatures are subordinated to her power and seek an evil blessing with a simple touch of the princess of the damned.1- The hand with skin burns represents the souls of those who are newcomers to hell, tortured souls that suffer for the sins comitted on earth.2- The hand with greenish rotten skin and pustules is the reminder of the decay that has infected the souls of those who have been trapped and have forgotten their humanity3- Last but not least, the hand of a demon shows that even dark creatures and entities bow before her presence. The cherry on the top, at least in my vision, are the simese twins that emerge from the ground, this malevolent creatures remind us that in hell there’s only perversion and any trace of innocence is lost. Thanks for reading till this pointI’m really happy to be very close to finish this creative journey, last but not least it’s mandatory to talk about splitting the sculpture in several pieces to be printed, this will be my last entry before showing the final rendered images. See yaMay Zbrush be with you

But nothing is discouraging enough to make me quit drawing. I think the strategy of drawing a lot of stuff and waiting a while to post is good though rather than posting it immediately and then feeling that sadness on the next set of drawing

... I don't socialise much XD

So her backstory is basically that she used to be a warrior of light Mergo. Very famous, very nice, but the dark army turned her and now she is a brutal demolisher of civilizations and eradicator of light... or is she?

anyway anyone who wants can read the story. Here is the base concept and updated model pictures. :smile:

Updated Model (Daily):

Mergit Turnaround.png1280x720 356 KB

I decided to edit this post for some more clear readability.

Mergit's Story:

There are many rumers about a warrior of light named Mergo.

She was a beacon of hope to all who saw her. Her left hand held a shield of a size and weight orcs would gawk at and her right always held the holy scripture.

With her left she would protect and serve the people. No man could breach her defenses. If Mergo's shield was between a threat and an innocent, you could rest assured they would come to no harm.

There is a tale told that Mergo once defended a whole village from invasion by blocking a single gate for 5 days and 5 nights until reinforcements arrived. No lives were lost in those 5 days on either side, such was the power of her left hand alone.

In her right hand she wielded such divine blessings that songs were sung of her resurrecting the dead and curing a city of the black plague in a day.

But one terrible night, The dawn of a war with the forces of the dark itself she was captured by an arch demon Azazel. The fiend bargained with the life of Mergo's comrade. Without hesitation the stalwart warrior dropped her Shield and submitted to the enemy for her friend's life.

8 months passed and not even a whisper of Mergo's fate was heard. Moral crumbled and the people began to lose faith. The forces of darkness pushed deeper into their land until one day a tale was told.

A demon named Mergit had been seen. Her ferocious onslaughts left scores of soldiers mortally wounded. Never once did she march with an army.

When Mergit was seen she was always alone, but only tragedy followed. Death was like a robe, ever trailing behind her.

On her left arm a gauntlet of such size and brutality men would weep at the very sight of it. In her right the power to suck away the very light from the world, bestowing darkness and dread upon any unlucky enough to see her terrible visage.

The similarities between Mergo and Mergit did not go unnoticed. The soldiers seethed with hatred. The gal of the dark legions to mock the memory of such a great warrior fueled their lust for vengeance and blood.

Many honor Mergo's death. Proclaiming the demon Mergit to be a failed attempt at demorelizing their army and bolstering the ever burning wish for revenge.

Less talk of Mergo's betrayal. Of the torture and heinous acts she endured until finally she broke Mergit was borne.

Even fewer whisper of the time she broke free and begged her former allies for help, but her mutilated and disgusting demonic form appalled them and she was shunned by her own people and closest companions

None know for certain of her fate but everyone is sure of this.

Mergit is here and the light has met it's match...

I'm really diggin' the sketch. Can't wait to see the final product!

Ok so there have been a few updates over the last couple of days namely the concept:

Screenshot_2018-01-16-20-09-40.png1440x2560 675 KB

along with more detail to the model and the idea around her:

post update body 1.jpg1280x720 116 KB

post update gauntlet 1.jpg1280x720 163 KB

Post update torso 1.jpg1280x720 206 KB

post update head 1.jpg1280x720 105 KB

For now I'm just experimenting with blocked colours and base materials so don't worry the texturing wont stay this simple, but the idea should be pretty clear. I am going to add some runes to her right arm since its the one she uses to cast spells.

Lemi know what you guys think and suggest I'm open to any critique :smile:

Jan '18

SO from now on at the end of the day I shall update my original post with an overall body shot as seen at the top I will go into the nitty gritty of the day's work in the replies. Anything you would like to add or suggest please feel free to tell me thank you :smile:

SOOOOOOO obviously I'm still a bit stuck with the colour palet right now.

I was thinking of using some complimentary colours so I'm trying to use a dark purple for the armor with the yellow/orange glow. That seems to be working well.

The problem is with her skin, i keep wanting to use a more dark elf purple instead of the generic pink succubus skin, but each time i try it fails... Sigh.

Hopefully I can sort this out during my texturing phase which will be soon, though i think I'm going to rig before that just to get some practice in.

hey, could give me some time to get the colour idea sorted, but i'm still on the bench there
